Wow! I am so proud of Anez, Haprer and Arwa. After learning about the impacts of deforestation, and reading the book, ‘Climate Action’, the girls were inspired to make a stand to Mrs Ogle about using the search platform Ecosia in school, rather than Google. Ecosia is an organisation that use their profit to fund planting trees to try and help reverse the effects of deforestation. Mrs Ogle and Mrs Graves were so impressed when the girls presented their ideas to the class, that they have sent them to Mr Ap Hari at XP! Well done girls, you are helping positively change our world. I can’t wait to hear back from Mr Ap Hari! #LovePlover

This week, we have worked on finding equivalent fractions in Maths. I am really pleased to see how confident the children are becoming with this. In English, we have been learning about the devastating impacts of deforestation, through reading non fiction texts, as well as through the fiction text, ‘The Vanishing Rainforest.’ The children had to predict what would happen in the story, using the pictures from the book. Here they are trying to work out which order they should go in.

Well done 5T, keep up the hard work. #LovePlover

We had a super World Book Day, enjoying a draw along with Phil Sheppard, hearing Mrs Coward read to us, reading the shared school book, ‘Lots’, and producing beautiful work linked to the story. Have a look at our amazing outfits! #LovePlover

Today, we have looked at pictorial clues from the story, ‘The Vanishing Rainforest’, to try new work out what happens in the story. We have retold the story in our own words, before Miss Topliss read the story and we found out if we had got it correct!! We are busy building background knowledge on deforestation and its impact, so that we can write our own speeches next week. #LovePlover
